When a wire is made smaller, the resistance increases. Which happens to the electric current?
A) The current decreases.
B) The current increases.
C) There is no effect on the current

Respuesta :

Well, you can pretty much see it with this formula :

I = V/R

If the resistance (R) is increased, the amount of  I will be increased.

so the answer would be : A. The current decreases

hope this helps

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Ohm's law state that at constant temperature, the current flowing through the conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference applied across the conductor.

V = IR

Where, V is the potential difference, I is the electric current and R be the resistance of the conductor.

As resistance increases, current should be decreases to keep the potential difference constant.

In the question, as potential difference is same, so current is decreases.
